Study and Analysis of Smart Applications in Smart City Context

Now a days, governments of different countries are considering implementing the smart city concept in their major cities in social, technical, economic, and political sectors by executing big data applications, thus offering opportunities for constant refinement of the concept of smart city. Smart cities utilize multiple technologies to improve the performance of health, transportation, energy, education, water services and waste management system to improve the living standards of their citizens. In transportation system, the city government needed better ways to monitor and manage local traffic to provide better transportation services to the public. The digital monitoring devices installed in the city's key checkpoints capture images and video data continuously. The increasing amount of traffic data now poses challenges in the city's ability to effectively manage traffic. One of the recent technologies that has a huge potential to address the challenge is big data analytics. Effective analysis and utilization of big data is a key factor for success in many business and service domains, including the smart city domain. This paper presents a detail review on different issues and applications of it in smart city implementation under a heterogeneous network condition such as cloud computing, wireless network and smart grid applications.
